Once, Jin Yanci and Song Yami shared a plain wooden desk, tracing out their future one stroke at a time. They shared the same passion and believed they could build a life that was both secure and warm.
Then the threat of underground seepage came to light. Shen Yan refused to conceal the risk and insisted on reporting the danger, drawing him into a battle of competing interests. His opponents secretly altered the monitoring records, filmed an argument at home, and used the rift in their relationship to file a complaint questioning his professional judgment. The client quickly formed a temporary investigation team and suspended some of his signing authority, leaving his career hanging by a thread.
The endless waiting and sudden crises wore Su Wan down, day after day. No longer able to bear the fear of living in uncertainty, she decided they should separate. They prepared to break up and end a relationship that had become a burden to carry. The warmth they once shared dwindled to dying embers, and their little home gradually became an empty island where no one waited.
A fissure underground can still be sealed, but cracks in the human heart are far harder to mend. On one side was a line he refused to cross; on the other, their love was on the verge of disappearing. Caught in layer upon layer of schemes and impossible choices, Shen Yan must hold on to what he has always believed in before his career collapses and his love fades away.
